Framed New Orleans Streetcar Wall Art
This handcrafted mixed-media piece features black-and-white photography of iconic New Orleans streetcars, including trolley number 940 along the St. Charles line.

Background Note
The St. Charles Avenue streetcar line in New Orleans is the oldest continuously operating streetcar line in the world, having run since 1835. Historic streetcars like Perley Thomas car number 940 became emblematic of the city transit heritage throughout the 20th century. Incorporating salvaged timber into regional art reflects the traditional concept of wabi-sabi, celebrating natural aging and character.
